Chapter 10
The Babysitter
One Month Later
Luke walked into the hospital unit of the base and stood outside Ross' room for a short while before going in with a smile on his face, looking over to Ross who sat at his desk. "Have I told you how much I really appreciate you?" Luke asked.
"I'm not babysitting your brat, Luke." Ross said, not moving from where he was. He didn't even have to turn around to see who stood at the door.
"Damn it! And he's not a brat." Luke quickly left the room, shutting the door loudly behind him.
Next he made his way down to the Armory where he found Joe putting stuff away. Luke stood in the doorway "Wow, Joe. You're doing a great job, you work so hard. You know what. You should take the day off tomorr—"
"No." Joe said, knowing where that was going.
Luke sighed in frustration and stormed out the room, going to the science department as it was the closest place to him than the technician unit or security unit or wherever Rocky is unit.
When Luke got to the science department he pushed the doors wide open to Dan's lab, finding him sat in the corner of the room. Dan jumped at the sound of the doors crashing off the wall. "Dan?" Luke said.
"No."
"Why?!"
"Cos I'm working!"
"Oh, boo, hoo." Luke turned around and left the room.
Next he ended up in the technician unit, in the garages where he found Casapr. "Hey, Ca—"
"No."
Luke left the room, having his hands run through his hair harshly as he felt like pulling every single strand out of his scalp. Because now that everyone had said no to babysitting, that meant Rocky and Brad were Luke and Ashton's last option. If Luke's honest he really doesn't want Rocky to babysit his child due to the fact he'll probably come home to both of them dead.
Luke made his way to the boys dorm where he found Brad in his and Ross' bedroom. He leaned against the door frame with a smile on his face "Hey, Brad."
Brad turned to Luke and sighed, shutting his eyes "What do you want?"
Luke slowly came away from the door frame "You know that you haven't seen the baby yet because you've been so busy with work."
"Yeah..?" Brad asked, suspiciously.
"Can you babysit him tomorrow? It's just me and Ashton both have to work tomorrow and we can't find anyone that will look after him. Everyone else that we know said no because they're either working or they just can't be bothered."
Brad let out a soft laugh. He thought about it for a moment and shrugged "Eh, sure, why not. Could be fun."
Luke smiled brightly before going over and hugging Brad tightly "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you, I love you, I love you!" Luke chorused continuously as he kissed Brad's head multiple times and hugged him tightly.
"GET OFF ME!" Brad yelled, fighting Luke's grip. He managed to push Luke away and walked over to where he had his work schedule stuck to the wall. "Uh-oh..."
"What?" Luke asked, about to leave the room.
"Yeah, I can't babysit tomorrow. I've got to work. I didn't realise."
Luke groaned, throwing his head back "But that means my last resort is Rocky and he'll probably kill the child! Then you will never get to see him."
Brad laughed at Luke's misery as he left the room to go find Rocky.
Minutes later Luke found himself in the canteen of the base where he found Rocky sat at a table with Alexa. He immediately rushed over and stood at the end of the table, plastering a smile on his face "You know that you're the best room-mate in the whole wide world?"
Rocky sighed, putting his head into his hands "No."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to! That and I'll end up killing the child."
"But you're my last resort!"
Rocky looked up at Luke, glaring slightly "Oh, wow, that really changes my mind."
"What are you talking about?" Alexa asked, interrupting them both.
Luke looked down at Alexa "Me and Ashton have to work tomorrow so I've asked everyone who I know that knows about the baby to babysit but they've all said no."
"Not all of them," Alexa said, making Luke confused for a moment "me? I'm not at work tomorrow, I'll look after him. I don't mind."
"Seriously?"
"Seriously. Besides, would you trust Rocky to look after a baby by himself?"
"Oh, thank you so much Alexa!" Luke said, quickly hugging her tightly. He let go after a short while before running off to go let Ashton know – and so that she couldn't change her mind.
Rocky leaned on the table "Are you really going to babysit?"
Alexa nodded "I don't see why not. I'm gonna be bored all day tomorrow anyway."
2 Days Later
"I swear to god, if you so much as scratch this thing I will kill you because Will, will kill me." Rocky said, handing the keys to a Wrangler over to Brad – as they were both in the garages.
Brad took the keys off Rocky, almost having to pry them out of his hands as he kept tight hold of them "Relax, Rocky. I've drove a car before."
"Yeah, a British car. This isn't a car! This is a Jeep! Besides, have you ever drove a car whilst in the USA?"
Brad shook his head "No, but there's a first time for everything," He said, making Rocky bemused and slightly frightened. "I'm kidding, of course I have."
Brad got into the Wrangler whilst Rocky stood at the window of the drivers side "Why do you even need this for?" Rocky asked.
"Everyone else is working today but me, and Luke and Ashton want to go back to the apartment so that Alexa can come back here from babysitting. I'd take my own car but I don't have one."
"Alright, alright. Just for the love of God, please don't fucking do any damage to it."
Brad rolled his eyes and started up the engine. Rocky stepped back and watched nervously as Brad drove out of the garages.
Half an hour after Brad had got the Wrangler from the garages, he pulled up outside the apartment block that Luke and Ashton lived in. "That'll be five dollars." Brad said, making Luke and Ashton give him a funny look.
"We're not giving you any money for dropping us off." Luke said.
"Then stop using me as a personal taxi! Both of you! Now get out and tell Alexa to hurry up."
"Why don't you come in for a while and see the baby?" Ashton suggested "you haven't yet and this could be the only time for a while you can."
"Eh, alright. Let me park this first."
After Brad parked the car in the parking lot they all made their way up to Luke and Ashton's apartment. They stood outside the door whilst Ashton went into his pockets searching for the keys to the door. Luke rolled his eyes after about thirty seconds of waiting "Oh, please don't tell me you've left them at the base."
Ashton frantically went through his pockets "I had them last night! I could have sworn I did! They were on my bedside table!" He said, making Luke groan.
"Can I suggest something?" Brad asked.
"What?"
Brad stepped forwards and knocked on the door – that way Alexa would hear it and answer, letting the three boys in. When Brad stepped back to wait for Alexa to answer, the door came open from the latch and fell open by itself which is weird because their door never does that when someone knocks on it.
Luke and Ashton glanced at each other before Ashton pushed the door open more and stepped in to see that the entire apartment was a mess. "Dude, you guys really need to learn how to clean up after yourselves." Brad said, looking around at the mess.
"That's not our mess!"
"Alexa!" Luke called, seeing she was nowhere to be seen. He and Ashton started looking around the apartment for her.
Brad tried to shut the door to the apartment but when he did the door fell straight back open. He looked and seen that the lock was completely broken. He left the door and decided to join in on looking for Alexa. There wasn't really much of a choice as to where she could be as Luke and Ashton's apartment didn't appear to be that big.
Brad went over to the bathroom door, taking his chances in there. He opened the door and found her straight away laying on the floor in a bad bloodied and bruised state. "Oh shit! Luke! Ashton! I found her!" Brad shouted, kneeling down next to her to check if her heart was still beating and thankfully it was, but very slowly.
Ashton came rushing in seconds later "Oh my God, what the hell happened to her?! Did someone break in?!"
"Clearly!"
"Luke!" Ashton called, sticking his head into the living area "check on the baby and make sure he's alright!" He went back into the bathroom.
"On it!" Luke called, quickly going into the baby's room.
He walked into the baby's room and went straight over to the cot, lifting up the covers "Oh no... Ashton! He's gone!"
"What..?" Ashton got up from the floor of the bathroom.
"He's fucking gone!"
Brad and Ashton got up as fast as they could from the bathroom and rushed to the baby's bedroom to see that the baby was in fact gone and nowhere to be seen or found. Meaning that whoever had broke in had taken the baby.
"Great... The time I am actually free to see the baby, it gets kidnapped," Brad said, making Luke and Ashton glare at him. "Sorry..."
Luke sighed, throwing the covers back into the cot "Look, don't worry about it – actually, do worry about it. Ashton, stay here and make sure Alexa's okay, me and Brad will go back to the base and get Ross and Rocky cos... I have the strangest feeling this is about to get messy and a tad bit violent."
"Why?" Ashton asked.
Luke walked over to the little table in the room and picked up a note that had been left there, as well as holding up Ashton's keys to the apartment. Luke began to read out what the note said:
Here are your keys, just in case you were looking for them. Next time put them in a safer spot.
